The boat, which had four people on board at the time, was impounded a short time later near Ballina.
Earlier the Lough Derg lifeboat was called to assit a boat which ran aground off Crane Island close to Church Bay.
Eight people were on board, and had to be instructed to put on their life jackets by members of the Lough Derg RNLI
While the Kilrush RNLI and the Shannon Coastguard Helicopter were called to an area off the West Clare Coast where an empty dingy was found afloat
The incident off Ree-hee Hill turned out to a false alarm after a Yacht reported its dingy had been lost.
